CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand [CHI] — Not a place that you'd expect to see hundreds of Jews coming to Shul, the first in the world to usher in the Jewish New Year. Rabbi Goldstein, along with student Rabbi, Berri Spitetzki, make their rounds visiting hospitals to blow shofar, hosting meals for more than a hundred community members and tourists, with a Shul packed with record number of congregants for Rosh Hashana. The high holidays continued with Yom Kippur. “For me Yom Kippur was just a day for trips with my friends. But for the first time I feel Jewish. To celebrate a real Yom Kippur, thanks to Chabad,” were the words that Dana, a daughter of an influential Israeli politician from Ramat Aviv, had to express herself.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — The streets of Crown Heights were bursting with action, men women and children from around the world have gathered for “Tishrei in the Rebbe’s Court”.

As a member of the orthodox Chabad sect of Brooklyn, Salita (28-0-1, 16 KOs) is bound by rules that most people in the boxing world would consider “distractions.” Because of his religious beliefs Salita is required to take time out from his training to perform ritual prayers three times a day and must eat strictly kosher food, even when he's on the road.
The toughest of these rules - at least for a boxer — is the Sabbath which is the Jewish day of rest running from sundown Friday through sundown Saturday. Salita cannot train or fight within that time frame, and must also refrain from boxing on as many as 70 Jewish holidays.
